Don’t turn your back on that corn!

We are now officially at the autumn equinox, (and surprise, surprise), we’ve had a first, light, frost, the apples (a bumper crop) are turning red, lots of butternut squash is appearing, sunflowers are looming and the corn is unbelievable!

Sometimes the garden feels like a place of miracles–I do this every year, but the amazing journey from a small box of seeds, to a huge garden bursting at the seams with delicious vegetables, fruit and flowers never fails to amaze me!

I made some progress on the beds that will be under the hoop this winter.
